Care to elaborate? I assure you genocide and the end of humanity are no laughing matter.

The U.S. is currently supporting a genocide in Palestine/Israel. Before that we spent 2 decades in a war —based on a lie— in which the U.S. killed up to 1 million innocent Iraqis.

We are currently occupying many territories, to whom we deny equal rights/status as states including Guam and Puerto Rico.

Over the last century we constantly supported coups of democratically elected governments mostly in South and Central America. (See the Monroe doctrine).

Not to mention the soft imperialism of the IMF and the world bank.

China deserves criticism for their genocide of the Uyghur Muslims.

There may be further valid criticisms if they invade Taiwan. This could go either way depending on what the Taiwanese people ultimately decide. Right now most Taiwanese want to maintain the status quo. Which is strategic ambiguity.

Edit: I might also add the U.S. is currently undermining the Taiwanese people’s desire for strategic ambiguity. Putting its own geopolitical interests ahead of the desires and well-being of the Taiwanese people.

The U.S. record of nationalist imperialism is worse than China’s.

I'm not going to argue on who is worse, sorry, I'm not educated enough to convince someone. But yeah if you pin the middle east genocide to the us (which you should) it's bad, and I don't know how it compare to the Uyghur's genocide.

Edit: I might also add the U.S. is currently undermining the Taiwanese people’s desire for strategic ambiguity. Putting its own geopolitical interests ahead of the desires and well-being of the Taiwanese people.

Just about that, isn't China doing way more shit on that one ? I know most Taiwanese want the status quo but there are mass campain from China to take Taiwan, and I've never heard of the opposite.
